History

The 5 Diamond Blackjack is a virtual scratch card game from RTG that gives instant wins. Online scratch cards are superior to physical scratch cards as they are controlled by the Random Number Generator, and the main prize can be won any time.

Scratch cards made their entrance in 1974 when a lottery game was created by the computer for the Massachusetts Lottery by the Scientific Games Corporation. The scratch card was later patented by the US in 1987, and sale commenced in the same year in the UK. Their popularity led them to be installed in more accessible lottery kiosks, instead of the distant casinos.

The Internet has obviated the need for kiosks as well, bringing these fun games straight to your desktop, which does not even need software to download. As new themes were added in the last decade, online scratch cards became more popular.

The 5 Diamond Blackjack is one of the most played scratch card games with a high payout percentage. Its rules are similar, yet simpler to the card game of blackjack, and the diamond symbol that has been added as a variant has further enhanced its popularity and winning potential.
